You won the double had a chance of a treble, but you Poole fans want a big shake up. I really can't work out what more do you guys want from the riders? They gave it their all. It's sport, sometimes you lose and in most cases you won.

Apparently Toby is out of hospital. Nothing broken just a bit battered and bruised.

Still no update from the club about Toby, sure we shall hear today, hope all is ok. Watched the meeting back, great watch with some good racing, Jody was fantastic. Still disappointed that Richard couldn't make the effort to come out for his medal in front of his fans! seems to be a trait at times in the past for him (press days) when he thinks he is bigger than our club, be professional at all times, if we won gold he would have been on the centre green. Will asked 'where is Rich' with Danny and Middlo on the stage and all looked back at the pits, I hope Matt has a quiet word in his ear as not good enough in my opinion. Again well done to Redcar you deserved the trophy.

Just got back. Well done to Redcar no complaints from the Poole fans. Such very very fine margins. If poor Tobias had made it over the line Pirates would have been celebrating the treble. Just one of those nights but I feel the team were complacent. Special mention for Jody Scott who put it all out there, an inch from the fence. Certainly a rider on an upward trajectory. Redcar got a very warm reception from all the Poole fans when they went over to their fans after heat 14. Poole fans really are the best out there.

Absolutely, it's just a pity that his back was so sore that night that he couldn't turn up at Ashfield and prove the internet doubter trolls wrong. On a more positive note it's fantastic that his back improved so much overnight that he could take part in the individual meeting at Poole the next day and that he was well enough to get second

The sport is in a real mess at the moment

With Phil Morris in charge of track prep, boats wouldn't be out of place...

5 teams won’t work, surely they know this, at this rate by 2027 we will have the equivalent of the Oxford/Cambridge boat race

Round the boards podcast..? He was definitely interviewed on there and said about changes in the championship and that he wanted to go back to Glasgow but didn't think he could be fitted in.

Jody was the best rider on show, real grit and never give up attitude. As a spectator that's all you want to see.

Massive well done to the Bears. They were clearly up for the challenge last night. Congratulations to Gabin Parr and the Redcar Bears. The Pirates were not at their best last night and maybe the playoff final was where we reached our peak. All the best to all Speedway fans of all clubs over the winter break. Looking forward to the return of Speedway in 2026.

Have the club been concerned enough to release a press update? I'm not sure what you expect the rest of us to do? Ring the hospital?

well done Redcar,they deserved something this season A great club

Completely agree I hate any restriction on how you build your team obviously apart from the actual team limit. Im guessing Dan will be still looking for a championship team spot think going back to Plymouth would be a step back in my opinion,think he could end up at Scunthorpe.

Yes definitely top performer, he was superb, nearly crashed and still almost beat Kerr. Very pleased for him, seems a nice lad who is going places, great to watch him attack the track. Not a great night for us but Redcar deserved it, they were all up for it and rode well.

And we wanted him back. It should be personal choice how a team structures their line up.

I think there is a difference between style & entertainment. having seen two riders at either side in the same team Jem Doncaster making starts with no motor & riding around in a lounge chair with Armando Castagna all action full gas & hanging of the bike like an epelectic spider.

Well done Redcar, didn't see that coming at all. Jody really has developed nicely this season, really pleasing as a Lynn fan and fellow Norfolker.

It's unprofessional and he should be teared off a strip for it.

Not at all, why should eye

We needed a good number one and number 5 , but neither position impressed this year and come heats 13 and 15 we were consistently poor. Got to change that as next years priority.

And into another one by the looks of it they called another ambulance to take him away... better than a shopping trolley I suppose 🛒

But Thompson looked slow in heat 12 when Kerr picked him off. So did Howarth in heat 13. This season, Howarth had been absolutely outstanding for Tigers in last heat deciders. It's easy to pick the riders after the event, but I think that picking Howarth was the right call. Clearly it didn't work out, but there is no guarantee that picking Thompson or Flint would actually have worked

Redcar have had a good season think they were unlucky with Riss health issues, they were a very well balanced team with Eric.Things might have been different with him for the whole season.

Won't be the normal pilots fans on here tonight. Well done to the 🐻 🐻 Jody Scott well done and a 85% vote for rider of the night

You really are quite pathethic with your anti Poole comments.

Neil Middleditch, Matt Ford, Danny Ford, Gary Havelock, Captain Pugwash, Captain Jack Sparrow, Chris Foster, Thomas Hardy, Richard Lawson, Kristen Scott Thomas, Alan Carr, Zach Cook, Forever Blue, John le Carre', Anders Rowe, Billy Bragg, Lewis Kerr, Sir Walter Raleigh, LBW, Tobias Thomson, PJ Harvey, Pirates of Poole, Will Cairns, Kate Aide, Shovlar, Paul Starke, Lisa Collette, Harry Redknapp, Martin Clunes, The 2nd bend NIDS your boys just took one hell of a beating!

Quoted as it highlights the financial position of the sport Here's a stark comparison which shows the gulf with football 10 miles from Ipswich is Needham Market. They play in the Southern League - effectively the 7th tier in the English game Yesterday they opened a new stand which cost £358,000 to build funded primarily by grants provided by the Premier League (£150k) and Southern League (£100k) and other agencies including £10k from local councils The stand apparently holds under 300 fans but would accommodate most of the average attendance. The game last night attracted their record attendance at 1105

@lewy worky is a long way from airports, but within 2 and a half hours most northern airports can be reached, but whether they fly to the right airports in Poland at the right time, that's another thing, Bowes missed several meetings to be in Poland . But if certain riders have not been paid in Poland they are maybe thinking twice about going back

Surely it can't be Scunthorpe or such like even allowing for the fact when it comes to budgeting Rob can make a tenner stretch the same way the lord Jesus could when making a fish and loaf of bread go round five hundred odd people.

Would be a good signing IF he is available for all/most of the meetings, but as @lewy knows he went AWOL a lot this year for Plymouth

Still 40 point limit

Some interesting comments from Buster at the Lynn awards evening last night, when asked about league structures he suggested that the top division will remain but it would take a few promoters putting some money in each to make it happen. Whether that means to replace TV money or to get Northampton off the ground who knows.

That’s because he is unwanted next year. Scrap heap job I’m afraid

He’s in the garden pruning the damn roses. Give the bloke a minute will you

No need to be concerned you prize idiot, I'm still here celebrating the league & cup double 🤡

Happy Redcar won, it would have been wrong a team that only won one match in the qualifiers win a trophy. Poole still the team of the season and if they have Rushen next year they will clean up.

Smooth & stylish - Gote Nordin All action - Peter Collins

So does there seem to be murmurings than a one over 8.00 rule will come in next year then.

Interesting there was fuel testing at League Final and Lawson was there.

Home and away twice is just eight home meetings,... With a maximum ten if you reach the play off final.. And what do you do with KO Cup as at least three teams are in the semis? Mickey Mouse made up nonsense...

Poole fans leaving early 😂😂😂😂 An absolute rarity in speedway after watching your team just fall short of winning every trophy available. Plastic fans with an absolute embarrassment of a track.

Well done Redcar, Poole fans leaving in there droves 😂

The Irony is lots of Poole fans whinged about having the 2nd leg at home in competitions and the one when they actually have it they lost.

Not convinced Blodorn is a shoe in for Aces next year with him taking up aU24 berth in Ekstraliga with Toruń. He's not really progressed as expected.

Tommy Jansson also had a great style... Smooth, controlled and fast... So lucky to watch the likes of him and PC race in my first few years of watching the sport.. An absolute tragedy what happened to him...

Im hoping for 2 leagues, 1 league is the beginning of the end IMO.
